On her journey to becoming an occupational therapist, Sarah learned how to embrace and trust life's timing. Rejection from Canadian universities created an opportunity for redirection - including a plane ride over to Scotland. Looking back on her time in graduate school, Sarah can now see the lessons she's learned, the real life application of skills shared between her research and clinical worlds, the impact of the people and places (and sometimes spiders) around her, and how it's all shaped her to be the person of contrast she is today.
